+udev 088
+========
+Add persistent links for SCSI tapes. The rules file is renamed
+to 60-persistent-storage.rules.
+
+Create persistent path for usb devices. Can be used for all sorts
+of devices that can't be distinguished by other properties like
+multiple identical keyboards and mice connected to the same box.
+
+Provide "udevtrigger" program to request events on coldplug. The
+shell script is much too slow with thousends of devices.
+
+udev 087
+========
+Fix persistent disk rules to exclude removable IDE drives.
+
+Warn if %e, $modalias or MODALIAS is used.
+
+udev 086
+========
+Fix queue export, which wasn't correct for subsequent add/remove
+events for the same device.
+
+udev 085
+========
+Fix cramfs detection on big endian.
+
+Make WAIT_FOR_SYSFS usable in "normal" rules and silent if the whole
+device goes away.
+
+udev 084
+========
+If BUS== and SYSFS{}== have been used in the same rule, the sysfs
+attributes were only checked at the parent device that matched the
+by BUS requested subsystem. Fix it to also look at the device we
+received the event for.
+
+Build variable CROSS has changed to CROSS_COMPILE to match the kernel
+build name.
+
+udev 083
+========
+Fix a bug where NAME="" would prevent RUN from beeing executed.
+
+RUN="/bin/program" does not longer automatically add the subsystem
+as the first parameter. This is from the days of /sbin/hotplug
+which is dead now and it's just confusing to need to add a space at
+the end of the program name to prevent this.
+If you use rules that need the subsystem as the first parameter,
+like the old "udev_run_hotlugd" and "udev_run_devd", add the subsystem
+to the key like RUN+="/bin/program $env{SUBSYSTEM}".
+
+udev 082
+========
+The udev man page has moved to udev(7) as it does not describe a command
+anymore. The programs udev, udevstart and udevsend are no longer installed
+by default and must be copied manually, if they should be installed or
+included in a package.
+
+Fix a bug where "ignore_device" could run earlier collected RUN keys before
+the ignore rule was applied.
+
+More preparation for future sysfs changes. usb_id and scsi_id no longer
+depend on a magic order of devices in the /devices chain. Specific devices
+should be requested by their subsytem.
+
+This will always find the scsi parent device without depending on a specific
+path position:
+ dev = sysfs_device_get(devpath);
+ dev_usb = sysfs_device_get_parent_with_subsystem(dev, "scsi");
+
+The "device" link in the current sysfs layout will be automatically
+_resolved_ as a parent and in the new sysfs layout it will just _be_ the
+parent in the devpath. If a device is requested by it's symlink, like all
+class devices in the new sysfs layout will look like, it gets automatically
+resolved and substituted with the real devpath and not the symlink path.
+
+Note:
+A similar logic must be applied to _all_ sysfs users, including
+scripts, that search along parent devices in sysfs. The explicit use of
+the "device" link must be avoided. With the future sysfs layout all
+DEVPATH's will start with /devices/ and have a "subsystem" symlink poiting
+back to the "class" or the "bus". The layout of the parent devices in
+/devices is not necessarily expected to be stable across kernel releases and
+searching for parents by their subsystem should make sysfs users tolerant
+for changed parent chains.
